The low, low highs for this weekend (and the fact Mr. Z is in Utah skiing and thus will not be driving me anywhere) have reminded me of my Winter in Chicago Public Transit Tolerability Index, which I didn't have to use last winter

is the Tolerability Index too high for you to walk a couple blocks to the liquor store near the Montrose stop and buy some more vodka?

The application of mathematics involved in that analysis is strangely reminiscent of the documentary I watched last night on manned missions to Mars.

in its general complexity, or something deeper or more specific?

Something less deep. Simply the general tone of venturing into the abyss, limited supplies, careful planning, and little prospect of rescue.

I said good vodka!

Good! And alas, I'm enough of a snob that I probably couldn't find a suitable brand at the nearest liquor store.

stop by for a shot of good vodka at bars you may pass along the way? expensive...but keeps you warm.
